Recommend Me a Hard Case Please

Yep Hiscox all the way. I've had a Hiscox case for my Tele/Strat for 16 years and its still in fine condition (except for all the awful stickers I stuck to it when I was younger).

Interesting... according to Google Maps, a trip from London to Liverpool is eight miles longer if done via Hiscox! That's tempting.

Hiscox. Only look at something else if there's no way your guitar will fit in a Hiscox case.

I have 3 hiscox cases, two of which are partly held together by gaffer tape..

I have had SKB cases none of which have ever required gaffer tape.

Because you just binned them when they got cracked?



Try jumping on one and see if it's as strong as a Hiscox...

Cracked SKB cases are quite common, and even if they don't crack, the flat faces are far too flexible to properly protect the guitar, especially an acoustic.

Hiscox. I have 5, including three of the Artist ones, which are fantastic.

Hiscox...

Had my acoustic in a Hiscox for 30 years. Still as good as new. I might add that I take it out of he case as well...

The price increases on the Mono stuff since they changed distributor make them very hard to justify (although I love my Vertigo for an electric)

Hiscox really are fab.

This is true - Mono are very expensive now, especially when a Hiscox is only a ton or so.

Well, today I managed to pick up a used Liteflite Standard from ebay and it is in superb condition. I've no idea how to date them, but the interior is pristine and the exterior has almost no signs of wear. After it got a wipe down, it looks practically new. It's a little too large for my OOO but after a quick email to Hiscox asking if I could buy some spacer pads, they graciously have sent me some in the post for nothing. Can't say fairer than that.
